1) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. I remember reading this story to my children and now purchased it for my grandchildren. We had a lot of fun reading the story and reciting Tikki Tikki Tembo´s name. It brought back fond memories and the tradition of repeating this looooong name with much emphasis on each syllable will continue for another generation.¤ 2) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. Great book... love to read to kids. They love to hear the lesson and still enjoy it each time we read it together¤ 3) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. I recall this book fondly from my childhood and my four year old loves listening to me read it to him. He´s a sucker for repeated phrases anyhow, but now as a mom to two boys (both with long names) I am reveling again in the wonderful details in the pictures- the shapes of the kites, the frog and fish in the well, the wonderful illustration of the dream the old man with the ladder is trying to recall as Chang tries to wake him up... and at least for my boys, it sets the tone of how two brothers play and look after each other. I just wish I could find my original record that went with my falling-apart old book so that my boys could experience it the way I did so many years ago.¤ 4) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. I remember this book from my childhood and my son now laughs at all the silly-sounding repetition. We love to read this book fast!¤ 5) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. I bought this book for my daughter when she was 2 years old and she loved it! I had read it as a child and thought she might enjoy it. The names are tricky, but the kids find it entertaining watching these boys get into such trouble.¤ 6) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-
chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo!
Three decades and more than one million copies later children still love hearing about the boy with the long name who fell down the well. Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent´s classic re-creation of an ancient Chinese folktale has hooked legions of children, teachers, and parents, who return, generation after generation, to learn about the danger of having such an honorable name as Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo.
¤7) Paperback Book Tikki Tikki Tembo by Square Fish. If you haven´t already read Tikki Tikki Tembo, you´ve probably heard at least someone recite the deliriously long name of its protagonist: Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo, by now a famous refrain in most nursery schools. In this beautiful edition--complete with line and wash illustrations by artist Blair Lent--Arlene Mosel retells an old Chinese folktale about how the people of China came to give their children short names after traditionally giving their "first and honored" sons grand, long names. Tikki tikki tembo (which means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world") and his brother Chang (which means "little or nothing") get into trouble with a well, are saved by the Old Man with the Ladder, and change history while they´re at it. Tikki Tikki Tembo is a perfect book to read aloud, but don´t be surprised if you find yourself joining the ranks of its chanting followers. (Picture book)¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
